Actually, you can find the powder at most supermarkets, even at Wallymart! One of my sisters, who lives in Tennessee, used to take a couple of bottles of the stuff when she came to visit. Nowadays she just goes to the markets in town and buys four pound bags of the pepper mix, it's cheaper. :P
I've never liked the stuff with "lemon" in it, it's just citric acid and it makes it taste weird. Using real lemons is better.
Edit: Oh and yes, if you ever try this stuff, don't dunk a bottle of it on anything without tasting it first. This isn't a "gringos can't handle hot stuff" thing, it's just that the powder is usually ground up very fine, and it CAN cause anyone to choke on it.
